This faux lace nail look appears to be very difficult, but it's actually super doable. To mimic it, follow nail pro Miss Pop's lead: First, apply Orly Pure Porcelain, a milky nude shade, as the base shade. Then, using a striper brush, make three diagonals to the left and to the right on each nail using a black polish, like Orly After Party. Next, using the small side of a dotter tool, create florets (four circular dots that make up a flower) where the lines cross. Finally, add in small dashes in between the crisscrossed lines using your striper brush and a metallic silver polish, like Nailtini Caviar Cocktail Polish.

This look may take five polishes to replicate, but the execution of it is super easy. First dot on tiny pools of these Essie polishes: First, Aruba Blue, a deep navy, then Go Overboard, a teal shade, followed by a satin-looking light blue hue called Blue Rhapsody, then a metallic rose gold called Penny Talk, and finally, As Gold As It Gets. Once you've dotted on these six polishes, take a striper or paint brush and swirl them around. Finish with a top coat.

To replicate this matte take on fall's dark colors, paint your thumb, middle finger, and pinky in Essie's Stylenomics, a dark green, and your pointer and ring finger with black, like Essie's Licorice. Then, paint on a matte topcoat like this one, and a few polka dots on your pointer and ring finger, using the black polish.

If you get tired of wearing chrome-colored polishe this season, switch up your silver metallic nails for lavender ones for a fresh twist. Use Essie's Nothing Else Metals, a reflective light purple shade to achieve this look.

To wear this multitonal look, choose three colors in within the same shade range. At Veronica Beard the manicurist painted on Essie's Brownie Points, a creamy brown, as the base; Essie's Berry Naughty, a brownish red, to create the French tip; and a rustic, peachy-bronze-colored polish from Essie called All Tied Up over the moon of the models' nails.

Now get painting!
